Surface Roughness Prediction Modeling for AISI 4340 after Ball End Mill Operation using Artificial Intelligence[Full-Text] [References]Md. Shahriar Jahan Hossain, Dr. Nafis Ahmad
Now a day a manufacturing system is oriented towards higher production rate, quality, and reduced cost. Surface roughness is an index for determining the quality of machined products and is influenced by the cutting parameters. In die manufacturing industries Surface roughness of dies are considered as a vital quality characteristic. For the complex shapes of a die, three dimensional machining is done by ball end mill in the most cases. In this study the average surface roughness value (Ra) for a die material AISI 4340 has been measured after ball end milling operation. Before conducting the experiments a design of experiment was done with Response Surface Methodology (RSM). 49 experiments have been conducted varying Cutter Axis Inclination Angle (Ø degree), Tool Diameter (d mm), Spindle Speed (S rpm), Feed Rate (fy mm/min), Feed (fx mm), Depth of Cut (t mm) in order to find Ra. This 49 data has been used for training purpose and more 25 data has been collected with random selection of input parameters and used as testing data set. The training data set has been used for train different ANFIS and RSM model for Ra prediction. And testing data set has been used for validate the models. Better ANFIS model has been selected for minimum value of mean square error (MSE) which is constructed with two double sided Gaussian membership functions (gauss2MF) for each input variables and a linear membership function for output. The Selected ANFIS model has been compared with theoretical model and RSM. This comparison was done based or Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Percentage of Error (MAPE). The comparison shows that the selected ANFIS model gives better result for training and testing dataset. So, this ANFIS model can be used further for predicting surface roughness of a commercial die material (AISI 4340) for ball end milling operation. Correlation test shows that only cutter axis inclination angle and feed (fx mm) have correlations with surface roughness.

Various Effects of Modulation Schemes on Wi-Fi Network of Urban Scenarios Using QUALNET Simulator[Full-Text] [References]Sabyasachi Chatterjee, Siladitya Sen
Thousands of enterprises worldwide are cutting the wires to their local area networks (LANs) to enjoy greater productivity from their unwired work force. Many wireless networking systems were established to manipulate urban networks in order to provide internet, data and video etc. connectivity. A significant drawback of traditional Wi-Fi system based on IEEE 802.11b standard is that they are quite vulnerable to sources of interference. Spread spectrum modulation techniques resolve the problem by spreading the information over a broad frequency range. This paper describes and summarizes a study of transmission techniques are explored in order to determine a favorable modulation technique for a particular wireless application for urban scenario. By comparison, it is observed that digital modulation techniques struggles neck to neck for getting low bit error rate (BER), but still with slight change in BER the quality changes a lot.Quality of service (QoS) of any Wi-Fi network is a very important aspect for customer satisfaction. Here QUALNET 5.0 is used to simulate the scenario by changing different modulation schemes (GMSK, QAM64, DQPSK, FSK8) and is analyzed by four parameters (average jitter, average end-to-end delay, throughput, signal Received but with error). The comparative analysis of all the four parameters according to different modulation schemes is done and it will be concluded, which modulation technique gives the best performance and quality of service for URBAN Wi-Fi scenarios.

Design and analysis of Composite Drive Shaft for Rear-Wheel Drive Engine[Full-Text] [References]Asmamaw Gebresilassie
In current market, drive shaft is the most important component to any power transmission application; automotive drive Shaft is one of this. A drive shaft, also known as a propeller shaft or Cardan shaft, it is a mechanical part that transmits the torque generated by a vehicle's engine into usable motive force to propel the vehicle. Physically, it is tubular in design, with an outside and inside diameter, which spins at a frequency governed by engine output. Drive shaft must operate in high and low power transmission of the fluctuating load. Due this fluctuating load it becomes fail and tends to stop power transmission. Thus it is important to make and design this shaft as per load requirement to avoid failure. Now a day's two pieces steel shaft are mostly used as a drive shaft. The two-piece steel drive shaft consists of three universal joints, a center supporting bearing and a bracket, which increases the total weight of an automotive vehicle and decreases fuel efficiency.

Allocation Problem of Repairable and Replaceable Components for a System Reliability using Selective Maintenance: An Integer Solution[Full-Text] [References]Mohammed Faisal Khan and Irfan Ali
In many industrial environments, systems are required to perform a sequence of operations (or missions) with finite breaks between each operation. During these breaks, it may be advantageous to perform repair and replace on some of the system's components. However, it may not be possible to perform all desirable maintenance activities prior to the beginning of the next mission due to limitations on maintenance resources. In this paper we have used the selective maintenance policy for determining the optimum number of repairable and replaceable components to maximize the system's reliability within limited maintenance time and cost. Also we find the optimal maintenance cost and optimal maintenance time for predetermined reliability requirement of the system. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the computational procedure.

Flow Forming of Tubes-a Review[Full-Text] [References]M.Sivanandini., Dr.S.S.Dhami. , Dr. B.S.Pabla
Flow forming technology has emerged as the most advanced metal forming technique due to its manifold advantages over conventional metal forming techniques such as extrusion and tube drawing. It offers remarkable utilization of metal, high strength high precision rotationally symmetric components with very high specific strength, excellent surface finish and close dimensional tolerances within the envelope of reasonable economics. With the introduction of heavy-duty CNC flow forming machines hard to work materials can be formed easily and deformation above 95% has become possible even for metals like maraging steel. In the last three decades flow-forming technique has undergone several remarkable advancements. The process is quite versatile in view of the fact that a great variety of tubular parts, flexibility provided for complicated parts nearer to net shape, can be manufactured with basically the same tooling, enabling customers to optimise designs and reduce weight and cost, all of which are vital. The ever-increasing strength demands of automotive industries, defense and aerospace sectors have given considerable impetus to research work in this area. In this paper, process details of flow forming, the major experimental studies reported in literature have been reviewed. The study brings out the potential and the ever increasing applications of this manufacturing technique in defense, automotive and aerospace sectors.

Web Services Performance Testing Using Open Source Apache Jmeter[Full-Text] [References]Khushali M. Tirghoda
Web Services are self-contained applications that can run universally across the Internet. They are built using Extensible Markup Language (XML) and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). They serve as building blocks enabling the rapid development and deployment of new applications. They are primarily used as a means for businesses to communicate with each other and with client; Web Services allow organizations to communicate data without having intimate knowledge of each other's IT systems behind the firewall. Performance Testing of Web Services is different from other application testing. Any changes done in the Web Services might change the object property that the service exposes. So, the Performance Test scripts need to be modified each time a change is made at the Web Service level which defeats the whole purpose of automation. In this paper, I am presenting an easier and cost effective solution to Performance Test Web Services using the Open source Tool Apache JMeter

The Affection of Http Compression In The Performance of Core Web Components[Full-Text] [References]Khushali M. Tirghoda
HTTP compression addresses some of the performance problems of the Web by attempting to reduce the size of resources transferred between a server and client thereby conserving bandwidth and reducing user perceived latency. Currently, most modern browsers and web servers support some form of content compression. Additionally, a number of browsers are able to perform streaming decompression of gzipped content. Despite this existing support for HTTP compression, it remains an underutilized feature of the Web today. This can perhaps be explained, in part, by the fact that there currently exists little proxy support for the Vary header, which is necessary for a proxy cache to correctly store and handle compressed content.

Current Project Work on Routing Protocols for MANET: A Literature Survey[Full-Text] [References]Mr. Chethan Chandra, S Basavaraddi , Smt. Geetha N.B
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are autonomously self-organized networks without infrastructure support. In a mobile ad hoc network, nodes move arbitrarily; therefore the network may experience rapid and unpredictable topology changes. Because nodes in a MANET normally have limited transmission ranges, some nodes cannot communicate directly with each other. Hence, routing paths in mobile ad hoc networks potentially contain multiple hops, and every node in mobile ad hoc networks has the responsibility to act as a router. This paper is a survey of active project work on routing protocols for MANET.

Performance Assessment of 2500 TCD Co-generation Plant[Full-Text] [References]Sangamesh Y G, Suchitra G, Jangamshetti S H
In this paper an energy balance has been carried out for an actual 2500 TCD plant. The turbine hardware model is used to predict the optimum amount of power that can be cogenerated from the system for different generation temperatures at a pressure of 45 bar. The optimum superheat temperature is found to be 5000C for a backpressure turbine with single extraction. Selected actual operating data are employed for analysis and performance assessment. The cogeneration plant performance test is to determine the power output and plant heat rate. It is a cost effective method of supplying the steam and electric needs of the organization. Excess electricity generation is sold to the utility company. The continuous need for steam combined with the savings on electricity purchases made the cogeneration technology well suited for the company energy needs. The results demonstrate that analysis is a useful tool in performance assessments of cogeneration systems. Such results can allow the efficiency of cogeneration systems to be increased and the applications of cogeneration in larger energy systems to be con?gured more bene?cially, leading to reductions in fuel use and environmental emissions.

Temporal Data Farming using Iterative Prediction on HDD[Full-Text] [References]Mohd. Shahnawaz, Kanak Saxena
Data farming is a process to grow data by applying various statistical predictions methods, machine learning and data mining approach on the available data while in temporal data farming we can generate data from temporal data. Regression is one of the statistical methods to predict, the value of an attribute (dependent variable) and effect of the other attribute (independent variable) on the predicted attribute. A regression equation is developed in parametric regression, which is a function of independent variables. In this paper we propose an algorithm for temporal data farming which is based on one of the parametric regressions known as linear regression to predict the class attribute and iteratively attempt to reduce prediction error tends to zero. Proposed algorithm is used in scenario execution loop of the data farming method and returns farmed data as crops, to merge in the original dataset to improve the dataset adequateness to mining. Case study with the proposed algorithm is made on the real life Heart Disease Data (HDD), in which we are trying to predict the correct dose of the dobutamine, should be given to the patient. Incorrect volume of the dose may affect the body of patient in other ways. This research may be helpful to the doctor's in the deep diagnosis of patient data and its disease. Research for the heart diseases is very much significant for the society.

Comparison of ISL, DSR, And New Variable Hiding Counter Algorithm Of Association Rule Hiding[Full-Text] [References]Kirtirajsinh Zala
The security of the large database that contains certain crucial information, it will become a serious issue when sharing data in network against unauthorized use. here data mining is to discover new mining association rules from large data repositories. Association rules are powerful tools for discovering new rules and relationships among the items. Data Modification and Rule hiding is one of the most important features of Data mining. main approach of rule hiding is to protect sensitive data from disclosure. The main approached of association rule hiding algorithms to hide some generated association rules, by increase or decrease the support or the confidence of the rules. The association rule items whether in Left Hand Side (LHS) or Right Hand Side (RHS) of the generated rule, that cannot be deduced through association rule mining algorithms. The concept of Increase Support of Left Hand Side (ISL) algorithm is decrease the confidence of rule by increase the support value of LHS. Another techniques of Heuristic approach is by introducing new variable hiding counter without editing or reduction of support and confidence by introducing two new terms Confidence(modified confidence),Msupport(modified support) and Hiding counter. In this paper we will try to analyze and compare ISL,DSR AND NEW HIDING COUNTER algorithm and try to find out Pro and Cons of it.

Reputation Based Intrusion Detection System[Full-Text] [References]Rahul Ambekar, Piyush Shukla, Pushkar Vadkhalkar, Anushree Warang, Sandesh Rane
The unique characteristics of mobile ad hoc networks, such as shared wireless channels, dynamic topologies and a reliance on cooperative behaviour, makes routing protocols employed by these networks more vulnerable to attacks than those employed within traditional wired networks. We consider the security of control traffic generated by pro-active or table-driven link state protocols in mobile ad-hoc networks. Focusing on the Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol, we propose a specification-based intrusion-detection model for ad hoc routing protocols in which network nodes are monitored for operations that violate their intended behaviour and rewards nodes depending on their cooperation in the exchange of routing information. We design a detection mechanism based on finite state automata for checking whether a network node violates the constraints &correlates direct observation of transmissions with path information from successfully delivered packets.

Security Analysis for Web Service Compositions [Full-Text] [References]Mohsen Rouached
As more organizations adopt Web services for increasingly sensitive, mission-critical data the potential impact of breaches of Web services increases both for individuals and organizations. Increasing impacts can result in a worsening of the risk environment for all parties. Web services security and auditing is therefore an important concern. The current trend toward representing Web services orchestration and choreography via advanced business process metadata is fostering a further evolution of current security models and languages, whose key issues include setting and managing security policies, inter-organizational security issues and the implementation of high level business policies in a Web services environment. In particular, the management and maintenance of a large number of Web services needs appropriate authorization policies to be defined so as to realize reliable and secure Web Services. The required authorization policies can be quite complex, resulting in unintended conflicts, which could result in information leaks or prevent access to information needed. In this paper, we discuss the authorization control for Web services compositions and propose a logic based approach to ensure the control access to such compositions.

Electric Field along Surface of Silicone Rubber Insulator under Various Contamination Conditions Using FEM[Full-Text] [References]Mr. G. Satheesh, Dr. B. Basavaraja, Dr. Pradeep M. Nirgude
Power line insulators are used to support the high voltage current carrying conductors. Silicone rubber provides an alternative to porcelain and glass regarding to high voltage (HV) insulators and it has been widely used by power utilities since 1980's owing to their superior contaminant performances. The main objective of this paper is to carry out simulation on the electric field distribution of energized silicon rubber insulator using MATLAB. Failure of outdoor high voltage (HV) insulator often involves the solid air interface insulation. As result, knowledge of the field distribution around high voltage (HV) insulators is very important to determine the electric field stress occurring on the insulator surface, particularly on the air side of the interface. Thus, we analyze the electric field distribution of energized silicone rubber high voltage (HV) insulator and the effect of water droplets on the insulator surface is also included. The electric field distribution computation is accomplished using FEM. The finding from this shows that existence of water drops would create field enhancement at the interface of the water droplet, air and insulating material. If the thickness of the dust increases, the highest stress point will deviate and move outward from the interface point of the water droplet, air and insulating material.

R-2R Ladder D/A Converter Circuit Performance Optimization for Mixed-Signal VLSI Chips via Generalized Geometric Programming [Full-Text] [References]Jit Chakraborty, Kausik Das, Subir Kumar Datta, Pritam De and Aritra Acharyya
In this paper the critical delay in R-2R Ladder digital to analog (D/A) converter circuits is minimized by uniform interconnect wire sizing via Generalized Geometric Programming approach. Elmore delay model is considered for calculating the delays associated with the circuits during low to high or high to low transitions of voltage sources. The wire sizing problem is formulated as a Generalized Geometric Programming problem in order to minimize the critical delay associated with the circuit. Assuming the critical delay corresponding to k-bit R-2R Ladder D/A converter circuit as objective function, the widths of the interconnect wire segments (optimization variables) are sized by solving the convex optimization problem. Numerical experiments show that critical delay associated with the R-2R Ladder D/A Converter Circuit can be significantly reduced while the interconnect wire segments are sized following the proposed approach. It is observed that the percentage of reduction in critical delay in sized-circuit decreases as the order of the circuit increases. Results show that 39.46 % reduction in critical delay can be achieved by wire sizing in 2-bit R-2R Ladder D/A converter circuit, while the same reduction is only 20.64 % in 16-bit R-2R Ladder D/A converter circuit.

A Fuzzy Controlled Dual Output Photovoltaic System[Full-Text] [References]Jayanthi Prattipati, Kommukuri Vinay Sagar
This paper proposes a circuit that is capable of generating both dc as well as single phase ac from photovoltaic cells. The novelty of this system is that it makes use of fuzzy logic in order to obtain the desired voltage value. The ac voltage has to be used up immediately since it cannot be stored. However, when this ac voltage is not required, the dc voltage generated by the PV cells is regulated and stored in a battery for using in future. The ac voltage is generated by making use of a nine level cascaded H-Bridge type of multilevel inverter. Dc voltage generated from the solar panels is supplied to a buck-boost converter that uses buck or a boost operation in order to obtain the desired voltage level to be fed into the battery. The fuzzy logic controller is used for determining the duty cycle which defines the mode of operation of the converter. The circuits have been simulated in MATLAB Simulink and their control schemes have been analyzed and validated.

Link Failure Distortion Optimization for the Video Transmission over Mobile Ad Hoc Network[Full-Text] [References]Arun Kumar, D.K Lobiyal
In the video transmission over the mobile ad hoc network, video is transmitted via the multiple links from sender to receiver. Therefore, there are chances of link failure between the intermediate nodes of the network. The link failure increases the packet loss at the receiver end and thus reduces quality and performance of the video. The quality of the video is considered in terms of the PSNR value and performance in terms of bit rate and video distortion. In our proposed scheme, we analyse the impact of the link failure over the video quality and performance
